North Macedonia Introduces Guarantees of Origin for Renewable Electricity

The Government of North Macedonia has taken a major step in aligning with European Union energy standards by adopting a decree that enables the National Electricity Market Operator (MEMO) to issue guarantees of origin for electricity

These electronic certificates will confirm that a specific share or quantity of electricity is produced from renewable energy sources.

This initiative comes as Western Balkan countries face tight deadlines to comply with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Starting from January 1, 2026, the EU will begin taxing imports of certain high-carbon products like cement, steel, and electricity. 

However, countries can avoid these charges on electricity until 2030 if they integrate their markets with the EU and certify exports of carbon-free electricity using guarantees of origin.

The decree allows North Macedonia to issue these certifications, promoting renewable energy in the country and facilitating exports to the EU.
